Polarized Structure Functions : a Status Report
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the present status of polarized structure functions measured in deep-inelastic scattering. We discuss the x and Q 2 dependence of the structure function g 1 , and how it can be used to test perturbative QCD at next-to-leading order and beyond. We summarize the current knowledge of polarized parton distributions, in particular the determination of the first moment of the quark and gluon distributions and the axial charge of the nucleon. We critically examine what future experiments could teach us on the polarized structure of the nucleon.

متن کاملRelations Between Polarized Structure Functions
The status of the twist–2 and the twist–3 integral relations between polarized structure functions in deep inelastic scattering is discussed. The relations can be tested in the upcoming experiments in the range Q ∼ > M 2 p .

متن کاملSpin Effects in Lepton-nucleon Scattering: a Theoretical Overview
The physics of polarized nucleons has received increasing interest in the past few years, as we had the opportunity to see during the Workshop. Experimental progress in this field has been impressive, and prospect for the next future are even more interesting. A description of the present status of the field on the experimental side is given in another chapter of these Proceedings; 1 here I wil...
متن کاملNovel Circularly Polarized Substrate Integrated Waveguide SLOT Antanna
Circularly-polarized antenna is built based on a new SIW (substrate integrated waveguide)structure which contains cavity-backed resonator and a conventional polarized ring with twosquare slits in inner and outer ring that differ 90° at position and is proposed for right-handedcircular polarization (RHCP) and fabricated in two separate layers. A broadband impedancebandwidth of 13.9% and a RHCP a...
متن کاملResults and Interpretations of the Spin Structure Experiments at Slac
In the recent experiments E154 and E155 at SLAC the spin-dependent structure functions g 1 , g p 1, and g d 1 of the neutron, proton, and deuteron were measured by scattering longitudinally polarized 48:3 GeV electrons o longitudinally polarized targets. We report on the measurement of g 1 by E154, and on the preliminary results on g p 1 from E155. The SLAC results provide the most precise dete...
